Qualified K-12 Educational Improvement Tax Credit Program

The NW Pennsylvania NTMA (NWPA NTMA) Education Foundation participates annually in the EITC Program as an Educational Improvement Organization (EIO). As an EIO, the NWPA NTMA Education Foundation is seeking contributions to help fund our various annual initiatives that support education for the local tooling, machining and manufacturing industry. Donations through the Pennsylvania Educational Improvement Tax Credit (EITC) Program will qualify you for tax credits, allowing your money to work twice as hard for you.

To find out how your business can direct state taxes to local K-12 Educational Programs, contact NWPA NTMA at 814-720-0094 or talk with any of the NWPA NTMA Education Foundation Board Members.  

HOW TO DONATE THROUGH EITC

Establishment of a Scholarship  

Any organization, individual or business wishing to help further the career of a young individual is encouraged to create a scholarship and establish their own criteria through the Education Foundation. It is required that the organization, individual or business creates and establishes all guidelines for an applicant to qualify. (i.e. essay required, high school graduate, currently enrolled student, age, residency, employment aspirations, for a PMI student, etc.)

Any organization, individual or business should also establish the "name" of the scholarship, the amount of the scholarship (may vary each year), whether or not you wish to be involved in the decision making process for applicant(s), the criteria and any additional pertinent information that you feel is imperative for your scholarship.
